Brisbane Hat

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®

GAUGE:

9 sts + 12 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) over pattern.

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

1. Hat is worked from lower edge up to crown (top of Hat). 2. Hat is worked in the round with a circular needle.
